it nearly threw him off in trying to get
out of the branch and up the bank.
The young man looked at the horse and
found the blood trickling from several

legs. He and the little boy went to the
branch, taking large dog with them
The dog followed the track of the coon
and soon came up with it and gave bat

in killing it. But after the coon was
dead the dog could not get rid of 1t, the

Eunice's Twins.

"No, can't say that I've had pros
porous season." observed one passenger
to another. Last spring me and my
old woman thought we'd keep summer
boarders and make some money. We
have big house, able to accommodate
eighteen people beside our own folks,
so we writ to our sons and darters in
the city, tellin' 'em what we had de-
cided on, an askin 'em to say good
word for us to their friends. Well, we
fixed the old house up in fine shape and
waited for our boarders. Purity soon
our darter Mary came down from
town with her three children, and said
she had spoken to all her friends
about u.s. In about week Barter En-
came with her four children. She said
the same thing, an though they wasn't
profitable boarders we hoped for o new
kind, and felt much encouraged from
what they told us. The next arrival
was my wife's sister Sal and her two
nearly grown-up children. [ was a
good deal discouraged then, but my old
woman braced me up by sayin' some
payin' boarders was comm and we
could 'commodate six more anyway.
The next arrival was my darter Eunlce
with her husband and two children. They
all settled down as if they lowed to stay
ell summer, an was purity badly broken
up about it, told my old woman things
were getting down to fine point an not
much left of the garden truck. She en-
couraged me by sayin' we still had room
for two boarders, an we'd charge them
enough to run the whole house. Two
days afterward saw strange man
stop and go in, an thought luck he'd
turned at last, and killed two chickens

get there I discovered he was my broth
er, Jim, who I hadn't seen for twelve
years, come to spend the summer with
me. That settled me on the summer
boarder business, though the old woman
said we still had room for one boarder,
and by making the hired man sleep in
the barn we coud take in two, an that
would clear the house. When l come
in from work the next night my darter
En- met me on the porch, and said
smilingly, Father says she, we've got
two new boarders. They came this
| afternoon. Come up stairs and see
them Wait till I dress up bit, says
I. So I washed, put on collar, and,
feeling good deal encouraged, went
up stairs. There was all the girls and
my old woman. Pap says she with
tears in her eyes, the house is full at
last Eunice has got twins.

with her face buried in her hands, heed
ing not the baby fingers that lifted the
masses of golden hair and crowed with
delight as the sunlight glittered upon
it. She did not weep or cry out; she
silently prayed for death. Only three
years bride! Three years of happi-
ness such as angels might envy. Three
years with George, brave, manly,
generous, the idol of her heart,
the king of her dreams. There
was no bitterness in her heart toward
the designing woman with her God
like face and devilish malignity who
had filled her husbands ears with skill
full falsehoods. She only crouched
like a wounded fawn and prayed that
she might die. Out in the cold Decem-
Der sunshine with her babe in her arms
she wandered on and on until the river,
with it's floating ice and sullen splash,
was at her feet. Clasping her child
tightly to her bosom, with prayer for
the man whose smile was life to her,
she--heard him say: "May, I wish you

at all? Well, I'm sanguine, self-per-

Why am not ecstatically happy
then? I expected to be, andy Jove,
I will be! I have lived quarter of
century without having seen any
woman so beautiful, SO lovable;
and I know she's far too good for

I dare say it's all my egotism, and
she really never gives me a second
thought. And yet when I pulled that
reckless young scapegrace brother Of
hers out of Loeb Maybe, she put both
her cold little hands in mine, and
whispered some incoherent words, of
which L could only catch, "Forgive me
I know you better now" Pshsw!
that was only gratitude. And yet, when
I held her hands, and tried to tell her
how gladly I would take far greater
risks for her sake, she did not take
them away, but raised her eyes to my
face SO bravely and trustingly that I
trod on air for days afterward.
She keeps my book, too. I saw the
leaf on which 1 wrote that absurd
crotchet thrust into her little silk purse.
She had torn it out and was making o
relic of it. That might be because of
it's oddly, and probably means nothing.
There never was girl SO proof to fiat
terry as not to preserve such sponta-
neous tribute. She treats me just the
same as ever-is friendly and cordial

arrive at-untertainty as to her feel

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and slice grows rest
less and undressing, there is trouble ahead.
The digestive organs, when healthy, crave food,
the nervous system, when vigorous and tranquil,
gives its possessor no uneasness at night. A
tonic to be effective, should not be mere APP
pGtizer, nor are the nerves to be strengthened
and soOthed by the unaided action OF asedative
or q narcotic. What is required Is medicine
which inyigOrates the stomach, and promotes
assimilation of food by the system, by which
means the nervous system, as we'll as other parts
OF the physical organism, are strengthened
These are the effects of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, medicine whose reputation is founded
firmly in public confidence, and which physicians
commend for its tonic, anti-bilious and other

SOL1LOQUY THE SECOND.
Three weeks in London! Well,
London isn't so bad after all, and am
really interested in hunting up queer
places.
I'd give a farm just to find Mrs.
Todgers' clearinghouse, and Miss Gray
is constantly looking for Curiosity
Shop. That I should meet her again,
and especially IN this human labyrinth,
is a piece of good fortune little short of
fatality. Her mother and 14-year- old
brother constituted the party, and the
old lady says she really doesn't know
how they would have managed to see
so much of London but for my valu-
able aid. I'm disinterested party, L am!
Hanged if don't believe I'm getting
too much absorbed in the flesh tints, and
the perspective, and the foreshortening,
and the coloring of my study in Gray.
She has not said word about my
guide book, not even whether she re-
ceived it or not; but she seemed glad to
see me, and I-pshaw! I'm too old to
lie abed and day-dream like school
boy! I think I'll go home. I've seen
enough yellow fog and black smoke.
Mrs. Gray says they are going to Scot
land, and the Hebrides, and all those
moist dem'd unpleasant places that
William Black rejoices in-and, indeed,
when ons can sit by warm fire and
read about rain and wind, leaden sky
and dewy heather, it isn't bad; but ex-
cuse from participating, as the man
said when he was going to be hanged
Yet I can be with her by going. She
said her mamma wanted me to go so
much I wonder whether she speaks to
me with mammals lips? Girls do, I
know, particularly when they are afraid
to let a fellow see that they take amy
interest. For example, if her mother
wanted me to 60 as an escort, and she
herself didn't care straw whether I
went or not, she would have said: II
want you to go so much" It's good
sign when mother comes to the front.
Bah! I'm trying to construe nothing
into something's practice thought I
had abandoned ever since the days
when persuaded myself that certain
schoolgirl returned my youthful pas
sion, because she permitted me to carry
her bookstrap to school, dream that
was dispelled by her subsequently con-
ferring that privilege on another young
gentleman in knickerbockers.
But still should like to see Scotland
and the places so clustered around
with historical associations" believe
that's the phrsse-which one reads
about ir-in Sir Walter and-and other
historians. At home they'll be sure to
ask me about Auld Reekie, st. Romans
Well, Corrie Nan Shan, and Coilan
Togle, and what shall I say? It is
clearly my duty to go to Scotland, be-
cause-Harry Olden, you are pulling
the wool over your own eyes! You
don't care iot more for ordinary places
with extraordinary names than you do
for extraordinary places with ordinary
names! Now acknowledge it's the girl.
